Equatorial Guinea leader praises Mugabe land seizures 
1 Sep 2007, Reuters 
Equatorial Guinea leader Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo on Friday hailed President Robert Mugabe's land seizure drive, saying Zimbabwe's agriculture sector was one of Africa's most developed.
...
This is in contrast to Zimbabwe's economic crisis, marked by the world's highest inflation rate of 7 600%, rising unemployment and shortages of foreign currency, fuel and food that is partly blamed on the land seizures.
 
Obiang was in Harare to officially open Zimbabwe's annual agricultural show on Friday. The show -- designed to display the country's agricultural commodities and livestock -- is a key event on the national calendar. But Zimbabwe's agricultural production, once the envy of most countries in the region, has been hard-hit by the controversial land-reform programme begun seven years ago.
